Tommy and Rollo
Jonathan Cooke for Mitch
Mitch is mid 40's. Single parent, his wife is deceased. He is struggling for money having just started a new business and his son and the dog aren't behaving as he wants them to behave.
"You are supposed to be out there guarding the garage... not in here thieving" Context: Said to a dog (Rollo) who is trying to steal some pizza. Displeased and annoyed but not to angry just exasperated.
"This is your fault! He's a guard dog, not a play toy!" Context: Shouting at his son for playing with the dog and making him soft.
"I'm so sorry Tommy... I should never have.. I just... I didn't mean to..."Context: Mitch almost hit Tommy for being "girly". He should sound distraught, extremely upset, almost as thought he is going to cry he's so ashamed of himself.
I upvoted this because this is my favorite audition here. I don’t comment a lot on auditions unless something needs to be said. I love the tone of this voice, really like this smooth approach and it really does have a nice build up, line 2 and 3 are fantastic really bringing out the tired/frustrated feeling and then that collapse at the end. The first line was good, but it fell a little flat. With live direction this voice as Mitch could be a big hit. Great job!
Thank you so much for the kind comments! I truly appreciate it! I agree the first lines fell a little flat after another listen. I think I put a little *too* much tired in the voice. :) Thanks again for the feedback!
Nice job man! Really glad you got this!
